Roswell Rotary Club’s Honor Air Program to Escort 60 Vets to WWII Memorial in Washington DC

00:00 /

On May 29, 2004 President Bush dedicated the WWII Memorial to honor the “Greatest Generation”. However, many of the men and women who fought and sacrificed for our country have not had the opportunity or the financial ability to visit their own Memorial. Through their program, Honor Air, The Roswell Rotary Club is proud to announce that they will be escorting approximately sixty World War II veterans to Washington, D.C. on April 2, 2014. It is their intention to honor as many of these “ordinary people who saved the world” as possible by providing them a completely free day trip to visit their Memorial”.

The youngest World War II veteran is now an octogenarian and most are in their nineties. These heroes are passing away at the rate of 1,000 per day so time is of the essence! Listen as Sue Sharp, CEO and Owner of Mobility Scooters and More, describes this life changing event. Her stories will move you to be active in honoring these Hero’s.

For more information, visit The Roswell Rotary Club web site or call Sue at 404-314-6279.

Emily Rowell/Crowne Office Suites

Crowne Office Suites started in Atlanta, in 1979 by a friend of the family’s, Lydia Howren. Lydia and Emily’s mom, Bonnie, were Girl Scout leaders together. It started as a secretarial service and turned into an Executive Office Suites business within the first year.

Throughout college, Emily answered phones for Lydia at several of the locations and also did administrative work. In 2000, Lydia had sold offices to several Dot Com businesses and then lost the majority of her clients after the Dot Com boom. By 2002, Herb, Emily’s father, bought the 3 locations inside the perimeter.

Emily was in the restaurant business as well from her senior year in high school until she got married in 2000. She quickly made it to the top in sales, won several contests and was head wait and front of the house manager. When she got married, she became a stay at home mom and also homeschooled for 2 years. In 2008, she ended up at NYL. (long story) Emily began earning top sales awards within 6 months of starting in the business. She became “Agent of the Year for NYL in 2010.” This was a huge accomplishment being that she was in a “foreign land” (didn’t know anyone) and didn’t know anything about the business.

Herb soon snatched her up to start building the business he was going to leave to her anyway. Today, Emily and her sister Julie work together to build the business and get their parents to the beach, permanently. Emily knows she’s exactly where she is supposed to be helping people build their business and succeed.
